Andrew and Ana Laura met at St. Anne’s school while he was in 6th grade and she was in 7th grade. It was love at first sight - the end. Just kidding. Although they have a few memories of each other during this time, they were not close friends but remained fond acquaintances. They went to separate high schools and separate colleges and saw each other from time to time since both Ana Laura and Andrew remained involved with the St. Anne’s Youth Group Ministry. Andrew returned home from college and was asked to co-host a fundraiser gala with Ana Laura. They met up and a friendship began to blossom. Andrew was discerning the priesthood at the time and prayed for God to send him a white rose if he was called to be a priest or a red rose if he was called to marriage. To make a very long story short, he sent him the most beautiful, radiant red rose, Ana Laura.
